Description

Lymphatic mapping and sentinel node biopsy have emerged as potential alternatives to routine axillary lymph node dissection in patients with breast cancer and may prove useful as a staging method for patients with clinically node-negative disease. The feasibility of using both blue dye and isotope localization and the accuracy of sentinel node biopsy in predicting axillary nodal status were evaluated in a prospective study. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Das 'lymphatic mapping' und die Sentinel-Lymphadenektomie koennten in Zukunft moegliche Alternativen zur routinemaessig durchgefuehrten Axialladissektion bei Patientinnen mit Mammakarzinom darstellen und sich als nuetzliches Stagingverfahren bei klinisch negativem axillaeren Lymphknotenbefund erweisen. Die technische Anwendbarkeit der beiden Tracer (Patentblau und 99mTc-markiertes Humanalbumin) zur Auffindung des Sentinel-Lymphknotens sowie die Genauigkeit des Sentinel-Lymphknotens bezueglich einer Vorhersage des axillaeren Lymphknotenstatus wurden im Rahmen einer prospektiven Studie ermittelt.
